Friends Decision-Making and Clerking in a Friends OrganizationHosted by Arthur Larrabee

What: Effective collaborative decision-making requires a climate of openness and trust where participants can share their viewpoints without judgment or recrimination, and ultimately support the decision of the group even if it is not their preference. Finding the balancing of the tensions of individual and group fosters open dialogue and collective support.

Who:This workshop is valuable for all board members and senior staff as mutual understanding of the process makes success more likely. This includes the difference between consensus and sense of the meeting.
